Though it isn't labeled as such on the website, this is obviously an editorial (and it's obviously a very bad one):
Why are you paying attention to some loony atheist?

I don't understand why one atheist can get all the publicity he's getting and we, professing Christians, just sit back and let these things happen.
We have rights, too. Anyway, wasn't this country founded to let us live by majority rules?
It was the first amendment to the Constitution that initially gave all men the right to religious freedom. If anyone doesn't want to say "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, then he or she can just not say those words. He or she has that right.
I really believe than unless Christians take a stand in matters such as these, we will one day go back to a time where a Christian will be arrested and thrown into jail for our belief.
Jesus said in Mark, "If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his father's glory with the holy angels."
I know my goal in life is to bring glory to the father. All that we have and all that we are is by his mercy and love. Thank God for everything he does.
I know you will probably hear from someone who will say that I am "hiding behind the Bible."
I would like for anyone who thinks that to start researching to prove me wrong. There are some very strong Christians today who set out to prove there is no God but failed in their attempt.
I think if more people would voice their opinion regarding matters that are all over the press, the United States would be a stronger nation under God.
